Victoria Mboko On Serena Williams Double Partnership, Alex Eala Friendship | HSBC Queen's Club Championships 2026 Interview

About this episode

Victoria Mboko discusses her relationships with Alex Eala and Serena Williams during an interview at the HSBC Championships.

Victoria Mboko sits down with the press on Media Day at the HSBC Championships, Queen's Club 2026 — opening up on two of the biggest relationships in her young career: her close friendship with fellow rising star Alexandra Eala, and what it's been like practising and teaming up with her childhood idol, Serena Williams. The 19-year-old Canadian, World No. 9, talks bubble tea catch-ups with Eala, the "wholesome" side of life on tour between two of the sport's brightest young talents, and the surreal experience of sharing a practice court — and now a doubles draw — with a 23-time Grand Slam champion. In this interview, Victoria covers: — Her friendship with Alex Eala on and off the court — What it's actually like practising alongside Serena Williams — Teaming up with Serena for doubles at Queen's Club — Balancing friendships with the competitiveness of the tour Discount Affiliate Links: - Mantis 10%: https://mantissport.com/qualityshot10 (At Checkout) - IM8 10% OFF: https://im8.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=26&aff_id=2077 (Code QST10 at Checkout) #VictoriaMboko #SerenaWilliams #HSBCChampionships #QueensClub2026 #WTA2026 #TennisInterview #SerenaComeback #GrassCourt…
